STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!
KV1 Platoon DONE!
Yes, yes and YES!
I have had two of these guys sitting and staring at me for nearly 2 years. It’s a great feeling to have all of them done, and I can field them together as a complete ‘Tank War’ platoon on the table top.
These guys have the ‘Heavy Tank’ armour rating, and the ‘Armoured all round’ special rule, and resultantly are very difficult targets for the Axis anti tank guns and Tanks taking them on.
They are also ‘Slow’, so I will have to think carefully when deploying them.
They are equipped with Medium Anti Tank Guns, which are reasonable when taking on StuG’s, Panzer III and Iv’s.
With such an high and all round armour rating, they will be of serious concern to the Axis players, as their tanks will be at a serious disadvantage when taking them on.
I enjoyed painting them up in a uniform manner. I have weathered them heavily to represent their continued use since the the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact went sour.
I used star stencils from Anarchy Models (find link below) with a few controlled blasts from my air brush. Compared to transfers the difference is staggering, the Soviet Stars really stand out, with no reflective shine, and weather in with the rest of the model.
